The Angel of Death
An Angel without pity,
No conscience ridden whore,
She haunts the field of battle.
She’s seen the cost of war.
In the faces of the dying
She’s reflected in their eyes.
She coming to collect their souls,
Not listen to their sighs.
She clearly fascinates them
As they gurgle blood and die.
They find her mesmerizing
Like the hunting cobra’s eyes.
To the dying she‘s a beauty
unlike any seen before.
Still they’d rather be in Paris,
Smoking Gitaines with some whore.
